It has been too long since the last post. We’re busy and the kids haven’t been very photogenic recently, but I wanted to write a little something for those of you who still check in on us… Brayden is 18 months and so entertaining at this age. He’s starting to say a few words and (Read the Rest…)

Going to the Minnesota Zoo is one of my favorite activities with the kids. This visit we spent most of the time at the Farm and at the water fountains. The goats are always fun – Lauren was a little scared to feed them, although she loved brushing them. And I tried to let Brayden (Read the Rest…)

What a fun summer you guys are having! Brayden, you are fearless when it comes to anything that splashes or gets you wet! And Lauren, you could be a model! So much fun with all of you last weekend . . . hugs and kisses to my Company Girl and Little Buddy! Love, Grandma Mary
Brayden’s been walking for awhile now, but it’s news since the last post! The weekend before Memorial Day weekend, he started walking from the porch to the living room couch and back again- almost like he was practicing. It was so funny to watch him weeble wobble around and try to keep his balance. Now (Read the Rest…)

HE is so so stinking cute!
It was so nice to see the sun today- we’ve been waiting for some warm spring weather! We’re ready to start working in the yard and being outside with the kids. I’ve started running again and have taken Brayden in the jogging stroller a couple of times now- pushing my big boy makes for a (Read the Rest…)

Love all the pictures and news . . . such wonderful family pictures of all of you at Easter! Nana Jo and Opa looked as though they loved every minute of it with all the "chicks" in the nest! Annie and Lauren have so much fun together, don't they? Won't be long before Brayden will be trying to get in on all the action with those two! Hugs and kisses to all! Love from Grandma Mary
Brayden had such a fun birthday party! We had the living room filled with balloons and although he didn’t fully understand the party was for him, he sure enjoyed himself. He let Lauren and Annie help open his gifts- he got a lot of cute summer outfits and sports-themed gifts. And he LOVED his cake- (Read the Rest…)

Love and kisses from Grandma Mary

Jonny and his girlfriend AnneMarie came for a visit last weekend and we all had such a great time! My parents drove down to see them and we packed the weekend with all sorts of fun activities… MOA and amusement rides, bowling, a night out in Minneapolis, some sightseeing and even some sushi for Bumpa (Read the Rest…)

I love the photo of Brayden covered in food! Looks like you had a wonderful visit!
I’m disappointed that I haven’t done well on my mission to update more, but we’ve been busy! I was thinking that life would slow down a little after the holidays, but this past month seemed to fly by. We rang in the new year at the cabin with the Kecks, and although the weather didn’t (Read the Rest…)

What fun you've been having! No post holiday let-down for you guys! The "North Woods" pictures at Keck's look just like the pictures AnneMarie sent us from Mt. Hood . . . lots of snow and pines.
Can't wait to see all of you next weekend , , , Brayden and Lauren will keep us all entertained, I'm sure! Love from Grandma Mary
We had a wonderful Christmas in Grafton with my family- lots of family gatherings, yummy food, and good times. It was especially fun to see Lauren’s excitement now that she understands the holiday. She loved singing Christmas carols and hymns (her favorites are Frosty and Hark the Herald Angels Sing), she repeatedly asked us to (Read the Rest…)

It really was the best, wasn't it?! Your pictures tell what fun it all was . . . right down to Brayden and Toby rolling around on the floor together, and Lauren loving her Bitty Baby crib! Such wonderful memories! Love you guys, Grandma Mary
We had quite a snow storm here this weekend- over 15 inches of snow fell yesterday. It does have a winter wonderland feel to it, but I was disappointed that my mom had to leave a day early to avoid the storm and my company Christmas party was canceled. Aside from venturing out to church (Read the Rest…)

Your living room looks like ours, and I don't have a snow storm to blame it on! Love the photo of Steph and Brayden with the snowman hats!
We had a great time spending Thanksgiving weekend with the Kecks. We hadn”t all been together since July so it was fun to see how much Annie has grown up and I think they were a little surprised at how big Brayden is- he almost weighs as much as his 2 1/2 year old cousin! (Read the Rest…)

It was great having everyone home for Thanksgiving! I really enjoyed the movie with the girls — "the horse ate the Prince's boot!" So fun to watch how totally enthralled they were. Brayden you love to play the piano already — your Daddy and Mommy can both play the piano too. Lauren the cheesecake looks delicious — can't wait to try the recipe. Love to you all
Josh and Lauren made me the most colorful cake for my birthday- the inside was like a rainbow! I had fun celebrating with my family and even my brother Jeff was in town for the weekend. Birthdays don’t get too crazy when your 3-4, but I did get out a few nights so that was (Read the Rest…)

Stephanie, celebrating your birthday with you and family was so much fun! And Josh and Lauren's cake tasted as good as it looked! Hope Brayden is feeling better, too, poor baby! Hope your snow is gone now . . . we don't have ANY up here! Bath time pictures of Lauren and Brayden are so cute . . . remember whenJonny used to climb in with his PJ/'s on if you or Jeff were in the tub? Love from Grandma Mary
Thanks for the photo update . . . it's been too long since we've seen Lauren and Brayden in action! The cutest, sweetest, and smartest grandkids there ever coud be, aren't they!!! Hope to see all of you soon! Love Grandma Mary
